noyes@John:1:25 @ and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

noyes@John:1:26 @ John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,

noyes@John:1:27 @ he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
